Buying Figures
I've got a few singles from D&D Minis and MK that I want to pick up, but I haven't found a really good source. I've tried Icon and Everythingmageknight, but neither one has what I need. Ebay is similarly disappointing.
So where do you buy your singles? http://drakesflames.blogspot.com Drake's Flames, my crassly opinionated game review site. Updates three times a week.

I've had great luck with D&D mini and Mage Knight thru eBay. Particularly there is an ebay store seller "Everything Collectible & More" (id: 3dogsshell35) that I can't recommend highly enough for Mage stuff. My brother and I have both got tremendous prices, fair shipping and good service. As to D&D minis I have got many a fair mini price, but shipping can get a little pricey.

what singles are you looking for?
That might help isolate a good store. (And "Where do you buy your figures?" might be a more-explanative thread title.  )

Reaper you know that he has you ignored. Why do you keep replying to his posts? He is going to say something about you being ignored and then you will get upset...and then pandemonium will ensue.
More on topic, IMax, I have only used the sites you listed but I do have a bunch bookmarked on my computer at home and will post them for you when I get off work.

E-Bay: Hero Town, Makasih Miniature and Trading Card and 3dogsshell35 mentioned above by quixotequest. I've had great transactions with all 3 sellers.
Non E-Bay: Cardhaus (especially when a set is new and they haven't adjusted their prices to market value). I've also used Everythingmageknight and they are a good store but dislike the fact they don't list quantities in stock. Newb.

Sweet, thanks guys. It's nice to have a sort of shared reference for good miniature sellers. I will investigate the ones you've mentioned here, and wait with baited breath for Nether's tips.

Go here: http://find-ccg.com/Singles/Dungeons...iniatures.html
This site offers prices from various vendors who sell the single figures, most of the time offering more than 1 store. It lists the price the store is selling it for, as well as a ranking for the store, posted by other people who used them. I used this site for getting the best deals on MTG cards for a while. Sadly, not every mini on the site has multiple stores that are selling it, so this may or may not be your best bet, but it has worked well for me in the past. smallboxgames.com

Since I do not have a credit card I just buy them at whatever stores I can find. It usually means my selection is incredibly limited but I make do.

I'm going to be offloading a bunch of mage knight figures I've already glued to HS bases. I've got 25, plus a bunch of bases off of Master Set figures. I'll see if I can get a pic of them for you.
I'd be willing to sell them or trade them for something from my BGG want list: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/viewcol...tartletter=ALL
